A Microbot from Big Hero 6 which makes a surprisingly addicting fidget!

It takes three 6mm x 3mm (diameter x height) magnets for one microbot.

If you're learning about embedding other materials in your 3D prints, this is a fun place to start.

General Slicing Guidance:

  1. Place one of the parts on the bed flat side down (for the arms you want to wider side down)

  2. Slice it like normal

  3. Scroll through the slicer preview to determine at what layer the top of the cylindrical hole gets covered

  4. Figure out how to insert the "Pause" command in your slicer at that layer

  5. Slice it again

Printing Guidance:

  1. Start your print

  2. When your printer pauses, insert the magnet (ensure you flip the magnet's direction for each arm)

  3. Resume your print

  4. Repeat for the remaining 2 parts
